I'd pass on Myositis Dan, for sure! That horse might be trying to tell me something!

Nobody is worse than Whatshisname and Who Dat! Then there's Stinky and I'm A Loser. :(

ETA: How could I forget Why Me? But that one does make me laugh! :lol:

My Mom feels the same way, can't stand the name but will include him in her trifecats on my insistence. Last year the name she hated was Orb.

Something like that can only win once in a while and not become a streak.
Therefore Easter Bunny is a toss

Worst I've ever seen was Spongbobhorsepants. However, a few years back, my hubby and I did a horse racing version of Who's on First, and used (with one exception) real horse names, including Drop Your Drawers and Blonde in a Motel (I guess there was a trifecta that consisted of Gorgeous, Blonde in a Motel, and Some Romance)

Too funny! Where was Drop Your Drawers when I had the letter "D"? :lol:

Remember seeing the name "No Name" at Pedigreequery site. Hope the poor thing had a more endearing barn name. :(

ETA: In fact, there are eight horses on the list for the name "No Name" ... from 1861 to 2011. All foreigners.

Not real names, but the comedy central improv show "@ Midnight" took on the topic. There are lots of innuendo names, but they all are truly bad horse names.

Ugh. That's bad.
So, if by chance the colt winds up later as a gelding, would they have to somehow abbreviate the name? ;)

Why would anyone give that name to a horse? So stupid!

Saw two last Sunday on simulcast...Betterlegsonatable at Arlington, and No More Twinkies at Pleasanton. The first one might win at Arlington eventually as the horse got close then flattened out. No More Twinkies at Pleasanton faded in the stretch as if he had consumed too many of his namesake. :)

There's a Ghostzapper juvenile working at Santa Anita named Olivia's Greatdane. That's just stupid too. I think its a filly but I don't remember for sure.
I ran marathons. I saw the Taj Mahal by Moonlight. I drove Highway 1 in a convertible. I petted Zenyatta.

Years ago we had a filly on lay-up graced with the name Ohbeegeewhyen. Such a sweet thing, nice little horse she's got a few foals on the ground now.

I won't lie, I LOL'd.

HIS name is Tapitifyoudare.
